Fertilisers Act 1985 Fertilisers (Repeal) Regulation 2002 (2002-174) [GG No 65 of 22.3.2002, p 1718] (NSW)

2002 No 174

Fertilisers (Repeal) Regulation 2002	New South Wales
under the
Fertilisers Act 1985

Her Excellency the Governor, with the advice of the Executive Council, has made the following Regulation under the Fertilisers Act 1985.

RICHARD AMERY, M.P.,

Minister for Agriculture

Explanatory note

The object of this Regulation is to repeal the Fertilisers Regulation 1997 (the Regulation), which has been rendered largely redundant by the commencement of the Fertilisers Amendment Act 1999 (the amending Act). Various provisions of the Regulation were made for the purposes of sections of the Fertilisers Act 1985 (the Act) that are repealed by the amending Act (eg sections 6, 7, 9, 10, 12 and 14, in relation to the abolition of the scheme of registration of brand names for soil improving agents).

The amending Act also repeals and re-enacts other sections of the Act so as to provide for Ministerial orders published in the Government Gazette to deal with certain matters previously prescribed by the Regulation (eg section 16, which concerns the particulars that must be marked on parcels of soil improving agents). The amending Act effects an implied repeal of much of the Regulation by repealing certain regulation-making powers in the Act. The remaining provisions of the Regulation are merely formal (such as the citation clause) or are no longer required (such as clause 22, which repeals the Fertilizers Regulation 1985).
